As a buyer, she’s one part product developer, one part negotiator, two parts handbag enthusiast, and three parts lover of cute and fluffy animals.
- Heather Laing: Heather has been a part of Disney Product Design & Development for over 10 years and oversees all Softlines categories of business – including Fashion, Accessories, Home Infant, Pets and Stationery. Heather holds a degree in Fashion Design from Pratt Institute. Prior to joining Disney, she was at DLXSF and Betsey Johnson. She is a lover of all things Disney, proud “paw-rent” to 5 rescue chihuahuas, an avid fan of tiny plastic dinosaurs and scared of zombies.
